History & Origin

Meko has no recorded history as an American given name. Its nearest neighbour is Miko, a Central and Northern European short form of Michael, and its shape also recalls short Japanese romanizations. We treat both as echoes and note the routes are uncertain (said 'MEE-koh').

It appears only rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare, newly emerging, and easy.

Did you know? Miko is a real pet form in Hungarian and Finnish, both leading back to Michael; Meko sits beside it in sound, which we note as an echo rather than a source (said 'MEE-koh').
